Something actually happens this month! MLB players can report to Spring Training in 2-3 weeks. Salary Arbitration. Everyone got swole over Christmas Break.

I thought everyone is expecting AJ Reed to be the 1B some point during the season

That's a pretty depressing projection system for the AL.

Hanley is probably the full time 1B in AL parks. When playing without the DH who knows. Spell with Ortiz?

Given that NHL.tv is so closely aligned with MLB.tv nowadays, a new provision was just added to their streaming TOS.

quote:

IF YOU CIRCUMVENT OR ATTEMPT TO CIRCUMVENT ANY BLACKOUT RESTRICTION OR OTHER USE RESTRICTION: YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL BE SUBJECT TO IMMEDIATE TERMINATION AND A CHARGE OF ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100.00) FOR EARLY TERMINATION WILL BE APPLIED TO YOUR CREDIT OR DEBIT CARD; YOU MAY BE SUBJECT TO LEGAL ACTION; AND THE NHL RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REPORT SUCH MISCONDUCT TO APPROPRIATE LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES.

If this sort of stuff scares you, I'd just check your newest MLB.tv terms of service to see if its included. I haven't heard anything yet, but the NHL just made this change a couple of days ago.

edit: this is in the MLB.tv TOS. I'm not sure if it was there in year's past.

And miracles of miracles, it was the second time in the game that the umps got together and (correctly) changed rulings in the Sox favor, taking place at Yankee Stadium in a pre-instant replay world.

I think the Astros should put Neshek's bone spur in a clear plastic case on top of the outfield wall like the Schwarber bomb
Going to look foolish when it was the key to his reliever powers and he's begging to put it back in.

Dearest Beulah,

I again take the opportunity of droping you a few lines in answer to your kind letters which I recieved a few days ago one bearing date "Feburary 22" the other Feburary the "24". It was a plesure to me to have the honor to recieve a letter from as charming a young girl as the one whos name was ascribed at the bottom of each of them. I was glad to hear you are well and trust you are sincere in what you wrote to me.

But maybe you will say it looks ridiculous to see a man getting grayhaired to be writing love letters, so I will use the remnant of my paper otherwise.

Yours Truly,

Colberry Rasmuson

Aren't projections based off at least 3 years of data? Their starting rotation is not great. Also I imagine relievers all project to be mediocre and not best in the league.
